The Memorial Day festival is the headliner here: four nights of stand-up without buying anything is unusual for SF, where even the "free" shows typically push a two-drink minimum. Crazy Funny Asians has been building its lineup quietly — the showcase format means you get six to eight comics in 90 minutes, which is either a lot or exactly right depending on your tolerance for sets that are still finding their shape. Puff Puff Laugh is the oddball: the room is small, the crowd is already relaxed, and the comics know it.

Practical notes: Moe Greens is on Polk near Civic Center — take BART to Civic Center and walk north, don't bother with the Van Ness garage. For the festival, check the SFFuncheap listing for venue-by-venue locations before you go; the stages move each night.

With two hours: hit the free festival on Saturday, find the 7pm set, and walk to dinner from wherever it lands.
